Identifying child trauma in its earliest stages is key to successful
healing to normalizing the child. The longer
the time span between the initial trauma and intervention, the more
complex the healing process. Victims, uncaught, who externalize the abuse will likely engage in
violent behavior which jeopardizes everyone's personal safety.
Those who internalize will cause life long damage to themselves, a
lost life. Early
intervention is too important to helping the child to getting back on track to a more positive and fulfilling
life.

Listed below are snapshots taken from the many studies posted on the
right column of this page for your convenience. These studies represent
children traumatized and its negative effects transferred to society
in later life.

The purpose of "Child Rescue" is not to excuse those who cause harm
to others, but rather to demonstrate the need to identifying children
victims early enough to prevent the cycle of societal chaos. Laws must
continue to be firm in order to discourage the crimes, though it's
unfortunate
we missed our chance in the past to interrupting this cycle. In fact, conservatively,
over seventy percent of crimes
against people were committed by those traumatized as children.

37% of Death row inmates were sodomized as children. The
majority of men and women in the criminal justice system, including
sex offenders and murderers, were abused as children

60% of men and women in psychiatric hospitals diagnosed with major
mental illnesses have experienced physical and/or sexual abuse as
children

Violently raped boys are more likely to later rape and murder

Juvenile detainees - 93.2% of males and 84% of females reported a
traumatic experience, with 18% of females and 11% of males meeting
full criteria for PTSD

Over 30% of males and over 55% of females incarcerated were sexually
abused as children. (Other traumas reported among others
incarcerated.)

In a sample of incarcerated female juvenile offenders, 74% reported
having been hurt or in danger of being hurt, 60% being raped or in
danger of being raped, and 76% witnessing someone being severely
injured or killed

Boys who experience or witness violence are substantially more
likely to commit violence than those who do not. Reenactment of
victimization is a major cause of societal violence

Dangerously violent males were 3-6 times more likely than the male
controls to have been witnesses and victims of high levels of
violence in the home, neighborhood, and community.

There is no other Bill that offers this much help to children
and, instead of costing tax dollars, returns our dollars.
